Hello. Today I installed Kurviger Pro on a new phone (plan to use it only as a nav device). I cannot open (load) .kurviger files from (via) Total Commander app. If I try to load the same file from Kurviger app (Routing → Import) it is reachable an it loads. My routes are stored on the SD card. A…

Which Kurviger version: release or beta ? Each OEM and model handles device storage differently and specifically the SD card.

Kurviger Pro 1.14.11 (beta) Android 8.0.0 (API 26) samsung SM-G935F 1440 x 2560 (640 dpi)

Just tried and yes it works fine but… I hate the app. Can’t do many things that Total Commander do with ease. :disappointed_relieved: I did that walkaround. It’s ok. But not ideal.

So you can feel my pain :wink: OK I understand Android new rules but, why on newer phone Galaxy A8 (2018) and Android 9 and the same Kurviger version I can use Total Commander to open files in Kurviger ? And cannot do so on older phone with older Android?

Kurviger cannot open file from Total Commander
